Hi there
If your line definitely is Joseph READMAN m Mary Dixon then I have Joseph's father as John Readman b1811 in Skelton and his mother as Mary Patton b1816 in Marske in Cleveland. The Pattons were stonemasons in Marske and Coatham so you will find them in local directories
John Readman and Mary Patton were my gggrandparents so your Joseph was the brother of my ggrandfather William Readman b1853 in Skelton
John and Mary had 8 children (incl William and Joseph).
I would be interested to see the sketch you refer to as it would be the earliest image of the Readman side of the family that I know of.
I will dig out what other info I have on my Readmans and the relevant direct ancestors (and descendants) which go back to the mid 1700s and up to the 1950s as far as I recollect
